The Weekly Advertiser May 3, 1881
Wedowee Journal:
We learn that another mad dog killed near town by Mr. J. D. Robertson, it 
belonged to Mr. Nobley, and was one which he had recently purchased. 
Hydrophobia, with all its horrors, is here at last. Two rabid dogs were killed 
in the streets of Wedowee Sunday morning, and another in the afternoon in the 
edge of town. Another was killed Monday. And these are not all. Two were killed 
in Burson.s Beat a day or two ago, and Mr. Nix killed one a few miles west of 
town on Sunday. Mr. B. F. Weathers tells us that his brother, near Roanoke, had 
a dog to die with striking symptoms of hydrophobia. It was tied to a tree, and 
died in the midst of violent convulsions, tearing at the tree and its chain in 
the utmost rage. Other cases have been reported from that community.
